I am a confident, bright, and attractive man, and I am looking for those same attributes in a woman.

My projects and work keep me busy. I work much more than I play, but this is what I most enjoy. I am working on achieving certain goals in my work which are difficult to attain and very challenging. For fun I enjoy certain sports, outdoors play, and I live in the kitchen when I have the time. My idea of relaxing in the evening is slaving over a hot stove and cooking for someone who appreciates and understands the effort. I'm a big time foodie. Food, conversation, understanding....that is what I enjoy doing to recharge.

I'm a lover and not a fighter. I am a talker and have formed opinions, but I have the wisdom to know that listening is the most effective form of communication there is....and I do my best to consciously remember that in my friendships and relationships.

I love my children. They are my family.

What I’m doing with my life

Working...building a business.

I’m really good at

I very good at my work....or I strive to be. I'm very good and confident in the kitchen. I'm very good in engaging with people. I am good at listening. I'm good at other things too....but I have to know you well before I share those skills.

The first things people usually notice about me

The first thing people notice about me is perhaps my height and how I come across in person when they first meet me. I am a confident educated man who is fairly straight forward. Sometimes that confidence can be interpreted as arrogance. Others see the difference and are attracted to it.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

Too much to list here.

The six things I could never do without

AirWaterFoodShelterClothing

These first five are everyone's first five.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Intimacy, food, work, my goals, life.

On a typical Friday night I am

There is no typical Friday night. Either entertaining with a dinner.....or often out enjoying being with people

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

You have to get to know me before I would share such things. It is why it is 'private'.

You should message me if

You should message me if you want to meet a respectable gentleman who is tall, intelligent, and attractive, fairly serious, and who enjoys the company of women with somewhat similar attributes.
